It is no secret that Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin and Hendricks Motorsports driver Kyle Larson are good friends on and off the track. Although, during the Cup race at the Pocono Raceway, things took a turn. Hamlin fought for the lead in the last seven laps and bumped Kyle Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. It did not end well, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver finished 20th. 

Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin scored his 50th NASCAR Cup win of his career. While he celebrated in the victory lane, the fans were unhappy with him for pushing Larson to the wall and booed him. Though Hamlin did not care about the boos, he cared about his friend as he sent Kyle Larson a gift from Michael Jordan’s Grove XXIII golf club and Resort. It is safe to say Hamlin is trying to mend his friendship with Larson.

Denny Hamlin tried to smooth things over with Larson. Unfortunately for him, it will take more than that as his gesture did not work. NASCAR reporter Matt Weaver quoted Kyle Larson, “I appreciate the thought, but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do all the time.” It is understandable if Larson needs time to cool down after what happened. After the race, Larson stated that he deserved to be raced with respect.

Denny Hamlin co-owns a Cup team, 23XI Racing, with basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. They are good friends, and it makes sense for Hamlin to send a peace offering to Kyle Larson from Jordan’s $20 million worth golf club—the 42-year-old gifted Larson exclusive Jordan shoes.  Though the HMS driver recently turned 32, the gift was more of an olive branch than a birthday present. 

Hamlin said, “I got him something; I got him a pair of shoes from the Grove from this past week, and I got him the new Grove uh Jordan ball marker, and I delivered it to him before the media this week.” The Grove XXII is Jordan’s private Golf course in Florida, known for its luxurious ambiance. There is no doubt that the exclusive pair of shoes from the Grove 23 collection is a special one. 

The apparel in Jordan’s golf course is exclusive and consists of shoes, golf shoes, shirts, and other stuff. Denny Hamlin tried to extend an olive branch by gifting Larson with Michael Jordan’s help. It remains to be seen how things will turn out and whether the pair will move on from the Pocono incident.
